Food was aweful. Some of the breakfast items got finished before 10 am and was not replenished. Breakfast options were so limited like an roadside motel. Pet fees was not communicated at the time of booking. Not worth the Holiday Inn brand and price.

Warn visitors that the turn is immediate off of a hwy going 55mph to try to make a turn after coming over a hill. When you miss the turn it reroutes you through a run down neighborhood for several miles.

Service was horrible checking in, staff was working on a computer problem and we felt like we were intruding. Hotel is run down and smells like a family was cooking in there. Tiles and wallpaper was missing on bathroom wall and the air conditioner smelt like it had a moldy filter! Would not recommend.

Garrett

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
From a distance, the hotel looks ok but as you look closer, you see all the issues. Hotel is in need of a major update. In the public areas: wall paper falling off walls, exterior doors not working, pool not heated, smells musty and dirty, only a single washer/dryer for guest use. In our suite: air conditioning sub par, room dirty, mattress are old including sofa sleeper, fridge barely kept items cool, bathroom tub wasn't functional, shower head broken, mold growth on bathroom walls, and room needs updated. I would not recommend this hotel especially for the price we paid.

Nice staff however they do not clean or maintain the rooms during your stay. We always had to ask for new towels, toilet paper and basic necessities. We were often told housekeeping was not available. The price is expensive during a Chiefs game and not worth it. Look elsewhere if you can.

The staff was very nice. This property was clean but clearly older, dark, and shabby. Considering the exorbitant price per night, we expected a much nicer property. The worst problem was finding this hotel! Hotels.com has the wrong address posted for this Holiday Inn Express! We discovered this when we drove to the posted address only to be told we were at the wrong Holiday Inn Express! Hotels.com needs to post the correct address!

The room was in terrible condition. Peeling wallpaper and the toilet seat was not attached to the toilet. Bathtub had been repainted overtop of dirt and hair. All of the common areas were kept uncomfortably hot.
